A Catholic Apostolate Helping Children Worldwide
Since 1998, CARITAS for Children has built relationships between children from poor countries and adults with the desire and potential to sponsor them. Specifically, a sponsor provides financial assistance for a life-changing Catholic education, daily meals, clothing, and medical care of an orphaned or disadvantaged child. At the same time, the sponsor gains a global perspective, a new member to their family, and a unique spiritual insight into the enriching effects of true charity.
What makes CARITAS different than other child sponsorship programs is that our ministry services are made possible with the cooperation of Catholic Religious who are trusted to provide the on-location care and supplies to the children in need, including educational necessities, nutritious daily meals, clean water, counseling, religious instruction and more. Years later, we also began to offer sponsorship programs to Sponsor a Seminarian, Adopt a Nun, and Adopt a Grandparent.
